Hi all,
it is some time I have NO.1 d6 smart watch for testing and I am facing problem I'm not able to resolve.
Because I am blind, first thing necessary to do for me was to install and activate Talkback, screen reader for Android. I have activated ADB with sighted assistance, so I was able to install Talkback to the device using trustable apk file.
After this my assistant tried to turn TB on in accessibility settings, it is a classic accessibility service. It was however impossible to do so, because checkbox was overlapped by Talkback's description.
I have downloaded TB's source code from Github, rewritten its description to one letter and installed newly compiled version.
It has freed the checkbox to activate service, because of short text, but it is still impossible to activate it, it makes no reaction after tapping.
I am wondering, does someone have similar problem with this watch? Can you please give me a tip how to solve it?
I found on the net, that some Lollipop devices had issues with activating accessibility services, but solutions differed much with concrete model, so I am not sure what to do in my case.
I have also thought about rooting watch and activate TB by editing Android's settings file, but I am unable to find any root guides for NO.1 d6.
Thank you all in advance
Best regards

Hi i just got my DM98 smartwatch and had a few questions for anybody that has the answers.
1.) I got the watch synced to my phone and i wanted to be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive phone calls, and use the internet.
Question: is there an app or trick to make this possible or am i just S.O.L. ?
2.) I have read that it is possible to create your own clock faces.
Question: Is there a guide that details how to do this?
3.) Question; if i want to do anything do i need to root?
These are all the questions i have at the moment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The trick is simple - go to the play market and look for notification software with a set of features you want.

The guide is simple - you should write your program. It's the most flexible way. Second option - you can go to the market and look for face designer or similar application. It' limited, of course, but you can try it. Third option - get watch face that you like and go into it's folder. There you'll find some pictures and may be fonts. Now you can delete the pictures and replace them with your own (with same name, of course), then restart your watch face application and you'll see your pictures instead of removed. It's most limited customization, but it's simplest.
Here is one watch face application.

If you really want to do ANYTHING you in fact need a lot of money first.

let me clarify a little bit.... i want to do this all through bluetooth. i have tried a bunch of apps and none see my DM98 Smartwatch as a bluetooth headset or anything of the like so i am a little confused with the explanation.

It shouldn't be a headset. It should be something like phone or smartphone with the ability to transfer any data. To connect to DM98 first turn bluetooth on on both devices (DM98 and your phone), next make one of the devices available to connection requests, then the device will advertise itself and second device should see it. When it's seen just touch it and select "pair". Only after this you can start your notification software and use it's communication features.
In short - you should pair devices BEFORE any third party application can do something for you. The pairing is performed using Android's bluetooth settings, no third parties should be involved.

You are talking about communication software. Chinese smart watches usually have just a subset of such functionality. It means you won't get everything pushed. But you can try to look for such software at the market. Search for key words like "notification" "smart watch" and so on.

well if that if the case i have tried many different apps and nothing works so i guess i am s.o.l. and need to return the watch so i can find one that does what i want. i really like this watch though because it is running full android 4.4 with full access to any app in the play store.

Can you guys help.

Hi, I have a question, how we do for have the sms on the watch via bluetooth?
Reset
Have you ever tried resetting the smartwatch there's like a small pin hole in the very back of it take something to stick in it the watch will shut off and you just restart the watch back up and that should have fixed the issue
No 1, you can try these aps to enhance your dm98
1. Watch android phone
2. Android control panel
3. Heads up notifications
4. Rotation control
[SOLVED] Still getting used to the tiny keyboard, I had a typo.
I just got the Dev C14 (Bluetooth reports it's actually the DM98) and when I try to log into the Playstore with my existing account, I get past the email and password, but then it says to "Type in the text you see here" with a prompt but I don't see the text. Can anyone help please?
Cannot connect DM98 to Galaxy S8 Active
Hello fellow smartwatch owners. I have the DM98 like the size memory WiFI but cannot get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The phone shows the watch and vis a versa, they both are paired, but when they connect the connection is lost right away. Please help if you can

For downloading software use wifi. Start with Google play, etc. Best for installing software is to do it from your computer: just log in to Google Play windows.

Personally I use the much more stable Droid Phone and Droid Watch, on Google Play.
Hello Everyone
This is my first post to this site, so I'd firstly like to extend a hearty "hello" to you all and a big thank you for taking the time to read my post.
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a means to enable GPS remotely, on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using Tasker. I never have GPS on because I rearely (if ever) need it, and it saves battery; but this doesn't help me if I lose my phone, or if its stolen. In order for Google's 'Find my Device' or 'Lookout' to find my phone with any degree of success, GPS needs to be on. But, I won't be able to do this if I don't have my phone.
I'm looking for a means to enable this feature remotely using Tasker. I don't mind what the trigger is i.e. e-mail to my account with a specific subject line, a text from another phone etc. Just so long as I can enable it remotely. I should point out however that my phone is not rooted as yet, however I am happy to do this if it is necessary.
Prior to posting here, I made sure to research into the issue, and a few posts suggested using an app called 'Secure Settings' in conjunction with Taskers 'Run Shell' feature, and the following commands to enable GPS:
Code:
settings put secure location_providers_allowed +gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed +network
Before using the Secure Settings app, Tasker wouldn't let me do this, stating that the ability to do this had been disabled from an earlier Android version, but after installing it and selecting the option to allow secure access to GPS, it then allowed me to do it. However, that being said, the commands don't do anything, and do not enable GPS on my phone.
I don't suppose anyone here knows how to achieve what I'm looking to do, and could provide some basic step-by-step instructions on how to achieve it? I would certainly be very grateful.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I appreciate any and all feedback you may have.
All the best,
Malachor.
Hey guys first time poster here.
Ive been trying to search around but cant find any real solutions.
I find the stock phone dialer app terrible as you cant have favourites and just the overall appearance of it aswell is a little plain.
I downloaded the app dialer and I like the look and functionality of it but when i press to call someone it goes to the stock dialer but it takes about 15 seconds to get there.
Someone please help!
The standard dialers you find on play store do not implement HFP-CLIENT.
To my knowledge, there are three hfp-client dialers available;
1) The binary only one that the thing ships with,
2) The new one added to AOSP8 here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Car/Dialer/
3) The qualcomm test application available on codeaurora.
There are problems with all of them for this application.
Specifically, as you note, option (1) is absolutely terrible.
A common problem with option (2) and (3) is that they don't interface with the chinese audio control hacks, which means that when you switch to a call, the audio won't come through.
An additional problem with option (2) is that it doesn't compile with less than Android 7.0 -- even though it actually specifies a minimum of 6.0, it depends on something with a minimum of 7.0.
An additional problem with option (3) is that it is a test application through and through, it doesn't implement the necessary background service to pop up a notification you can click on to answer a call. The application has to actually be *open* to do anything.
But aside from those problems with (2) and (3), the *good* thing about them, is that they are open source, which means that anybody who wants to adjust them so that they do work, can do so.
If I was going to pick somewhere to start with this, it would be with option (2). It is a dialer meant for end users, and would take a lot less work to adjust it to (a) compile, and (b) implement the needed audio hacks. Although technically, I do have option (3) working, as I mentioned, it has to actually be open in the foreground to do anything, and it doesn't implement the audio hacks.
Hi,
Apologies for the noob question but what do you do with the code in option 2 to install it on the headunit?
Thanks!

I just bought a Seicane unit. The model is listed as sp9853i in the settings screen. I haven't been able to find a lot of information anywhere about this unit. I have been trying to get a different HFP-enabled phone dialer, but no luck so far.
I did try installing FCC Launcher, which lists dialing through BT as a feature. However, it looks like the Seicane sp9853i provides the actual bluetooth functionality in the actual launcher. When I start FCC launcher, BT disconnects. Also, the BT properties are not available under Android settings, which is not terribly surprising, since it's a head unit, not a phone.
Since updating to Android Pie, apps need user confirmation when changing system settings like turning on bluetooth.
This defeats the purpose of automating processes with apps like tasker.
Had been looking for the solution on the web for a while and had not found any posts providing a solution.
I saw others with similar problems, but no solution that worked.
I found a solution and want to share it here.
The issue can be resolved in the following manner.
You need to give the specific app permission to write system settings.
Go to Settings>Apps>Apps.
Press the three dots at the top right.
Special Access>Write System Settings
Search for the app (e.g. Tasker)
Activate the setting for the app.
When the app activates Bluetooth, it will no longer ask for user confirmation.
Hope this helps people out there.

Hi in my case it doesn't work.
Honor 8 pro with Android 9.0.1.161, using an NFC tag that turns Bluetooth on or off, using the "NFC Task" app, whenever the system displays a screen with the text "NFC task wants to enable / disable bluetooth" and two choices "allow" or "refuse".
Steps dont work in my Huawei Y9 2019, with Android 9.01, any other suggestion?, write access settings are ON for all the apps that needs bluetooth, but bluetooth keeps asking the same, aprove or deny...
Same here, Mate 20 X. Had this already turned on.
Don't Work P30 Pro Android 10
Anyone was able to find a solution?
Hey everyone - little new around XDA as this is my first post. Recently I had constructed a video tutorial of sorts for the average Onn TV box owner to get it running, achieve an unlocked boot loader and root, and use Tasker to remap the hardware based buttons (as the remap module zip I found on here did not work for me).
There is a Reddit thread here with more context and the video link:
See here
Anyways, I am trying to think about and implement a way to have the option to block OTA updates from happening automatically as I could not find any menu item to disable them. I’ve recently left the Amazon TV ecosystem as for I was tired of trying to always block updates / conform with their launcher and their software. I guess I’m slowly worrying that this TV may eventually have the same fate in terms of being locked down but I suppose I want to fight for this one over the Amazon products lol.
I have had 2 ideas that I have tried, one of which I’m at a dead end with and the other I am asking for a little assistance with - albeit I’m unsure it’ll work but I feel it makes sense and is worth a shot.
The first idea, I was trying to find and stop the service(s) associated with system updates through an app called Servicely. I am able to find 2 services related to system updates but am unable to stop/trial disabling them as the app quits when I try to do so.
The second idea is somehow devising a way to block network traffic specific to wherever the Onn Tv visits to check if there is a new update. I feel this would be a cleaner and safer method too. I tried using a couple of network traffic tracking apps and then navigating to settings and selecting “check for update” to generate the respective traffic with no avail.
So I am asking for help with this please, I’m sure there is a better or more thorough way to detect where the Onn TV is visiting online to check if there are new updates. Does anyone have an idea on how to detect / block this from happening to stop the automatic and manual check for updates (and thus hopefully the auto-update) from happening? Thank you.
You can try to remotely connect to the Onn using ADB and then freeze/disable those packages.
What are the package names for the OTA files you found?
